Business Management N/NW and Commercial Statewide Version 1 03072014 TAEDES402A Use Training packages and accredited courses to meet client needs Page 3 of 21 Assessment Information Process for Assessment This assessment package contains the instructions for all the assessment tasks for this unit. To gain a CP (competent) result for this unit or cluster, you must satisfactorily complete all assessment tasks contained in this assessment package.

The trainer/assessor will make a judgement about your competence in the unit(s) based on all the evidence that is presented and provide genuine feedback on individual assessment tasks. If you wish to appeal any assessment decision you must follow the steps outlined by TasTAFE policy as per the handbook. For further information about the assessment process, please see the brochure “General information about Assessment – All Courses”. This is available from reception and can also be found on the student website.

Submitting Assessment It is generally expected that written assessment tasks be word-processed e.g. work that would be expected to be presented as such in the workplace (computers are widely available in TasTAFE). If you are unable to comply with this please discuss this with your trainer/assessor

When submitting written work the following standards apply:

Reasonable Adjustment Adjustments can be made to the way in which evidence from the candidate can be collected. We provide all learners who require reasonable adjustment with opportunities to access and utilise appropriate support and alternative assessment methods. Examples:

 Verbal questioning or practical demonstrations in place of written examinations when required

 Disability support persons provided for students with special needs (e.g. Interpreter for hearing impaired students).

Please discuss with your trainer/assessor, if you have any additional needs that need to be taken into account for this assessment.

Due Dates for Assessment Tasks Your trainer/assessor will negotiate a reasonable due date for assessment tasks to be submitted. It is important that you submit your work on time or renegotiate an alternative date prior to the due date.

Appeal Process Learners have the right to appeal against assessment decisions made. If you feel that an assessment result is unjust or unfair you have the right to request more information or feedback about the assessment decision. You may also ask for a re- TasTAFE TAEDES402A: Use training packages to meet client needs assessment. If you have an issue with an assessment decision or outcome it is encouraged that you discuss this with the trainer/assessor who conducted the assessment. If this does not resolve the matter you can talk to the Team Leader or submit a Feedback form.

Plagiarism Plagiarism is not acceptable. Plagiarism is using another person’s ideas and words without clearly saying where that information came from. You may use a limited amount of information and ideas expressed by others. The TasTAFE plagiarism policy is documented in the Student Handbook.

Achieving Competence When all assessment tasks have been submitted you will receive a result of competent or not yet competent.

What happens if your work is not at the required standard? If an assessment task does not meet the requirements you will be provided with feedback and the opportunity to resubmit. A maximum of 3 attempts is offered before you will receive a result of Not Competent (NP).

Confidentiality When submitting work for assessment, confidentiality and respecting ‘clients’ rights to privacy are very important. This needs to be adhered to at all times. Any identifying information relating to a ‘client’ needs to be removed from the evidence or you must submit a completed written consent form from the ‘client’.

Your trainer/assessor will provide you with a consent form.

Retention of Student Assessments Your completed assessments will be retained for the duration of your course and an additional 6 months for auditing purposes.
